So I put my August running stats into Claude and it came back and told me my Park Runs are too fast to be proper 'base' runs.
My other runs are all fine - being mid 130s for the runs, but with the Park Run I go up to 145 BPM - as Claude said - quite a HR increase for no meaningful pace increase...
So I am gonna have to run the Park Runs even slower if I'm doing a base run, no worries, I am just getting used to this!
That said my last Park Run was as a tourist so I was happy enough doing it slow...
Queenswood Park Run
- A beautiful day and hilly, had a friend to chat to for the first few hundred meters but then had to up it a bit... still took it quite easy!
26 August...
Headed out for a classic mid week work run, nice and easy - up hills!
28 August...
Knowing I was not going to be able to do the Park Run this week I headed out for a Friday run - this'll be my 8K slot on a Thursday I think next week!
Next weeks plans
Need to get in a teeny Octopus session but that's about it, otherwise just two to three easy base runs again, one of them longer at 8K.
I am getting a little bored of the slow pace, time to look at what the build phase is all about!
